Abstract

A method, a server, and a system for sharing resource data are provided. The method includes: preconfiguring a resource configuration file, reading a preset key value and an index name in the resource configuration file; requesting a memory space from an operating system according to the preset key value to create a shared memory; and loading resource data corresponding to the index name from a magnetic disk to the shared memory, and sharing the resource data with a process of each scene server on a same physical machine.

Claims

1. A method for sharing resource data, applicable to a resource loading server that comprises one or more program instructions, a memory and one or more processors, the one or more program instructions being stored in the memory and executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising:

reading a preset key value and an index name of resource data from a resource configuration file, the resource configuration file being a resource configuration file preconfigured, and the resource data is same logical data needed for a process of each scene server on a same physical machine;

requesting a memory space from an operating system of the resource loading server according to the preset key value to create a shared memory;

loading the resource data corresponding to the index name from a magnetic disk to the shared memory; and

sharing the resource data with the process of each scene server on the same physical machine.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the sharing the resource data with the process of each scene server on the same physical machine, comprises:

mapping, when the process of each scene server accesses the shared memory by using the preset key value, the resource data to a memory space of the each scene server.

3. The method according to claim 1, after the loading the resource data corresponding to the index name from a magnetic disk to the shared memory, further comprising:

setting a signal amount and creating a signal amount key value corresponding to the signal amount, an initial value of the signal amount being the same as the number of the running processes of the scene servers on the physical machine; and

storing the signal amount in the memory space of the operating system according to the signal amount key value, so that the process of each scene server detects the signal amount from the memory space of the operating system according to the signal amount key value, and starting the process of each scene server on the same physical machine when the signal amount exists and after a wait operation is successfully executed on the signal amount.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the resource data comprises:

planning configuration data, art resource data, and map resource data.

5. A method for sharing resource data, applicable to scene servers, comprising:

starting a process of each scene server on a same physical machine;

reading a preset key value in a resource configuration file preconfigured by a resource loading server, the resource configuration file comprising the preset key value and an index name of resource data, and the resource data being same logical data needed for a process of each scene server on a same physical machine;

accessing a shared memory according to the preset key value, the shared memory being created by the resource loading server requesting, according to the preset key value, a memory space from an operating system, and the shared memory storing the resource data loaded, according to the index name, by the resource loading server from a magnetic disk; and

mapping the resource data in the shared memory to a memory space.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the starting a process of each scene server comprises:

receiving a start command to start the process of each scene server on the same physical machine.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the starting a process of each scene server on a same physical machine comprises:

obtaining a signal amount key value from the resource loading server;

detecting a signal amount from the memory space of the operating system according to the signal amount key value every a preset time; and

starting, when the signal amount exists and after a wait operation is successfully executed on the signal amount, the process of each scene server on the same physical machine.

8. A resource loading server comprising:

a configuration unit, configured to preconfigure a resource configuration file, the resource configuration file comprising a preset key value and an index name of resource data, and the resource data being same logical data needed for a process of each scene server on a same physical machine;

a first reading unit, configured to read the preset key value and the index name of the resource data in the resource configuration file;

a creation unit, configured to request a memory space from an operating system of the resource loading server according to the preset key value to create a shared memory and a sharing unit, configured to load the resource data corresponding to the index name from a magnetic disk to the shared memory, and share the resource data with the process of each scene server on the same physical machine.

9. The server according to claim 8, wherein,

the sharing unit is specifically configured to map, when the process of each scene server accesses the shared memory by using the preset key value, the resource data to a memory space of each scene server.

10. The server according to claim 8, wherein the server further comprises:

a setting unit, configured to set a signal amount and create a signal amount key value corresponding to the signal amount, an initial value of the signal amount being the same as the number of the running processes of the scene servers on the physical machine; and

a storage unit, configured to store the signal amount in the memory space of the operating system according to the signal amount key value, so that the process of each scene server detects the signal amount from the memory space of the operating system according to the signal amount key value, and start, when the signal amount exists and after a wait operation is successfully executed on the signal amount, the process of each scene server on the same physical machine.
